I bought a used Boss ME-25 to use for a bit of late night practice, after wake my wife up a few times using my Blackstar HT20. I’ve been using it with an old and cheap pair of Senheisser HD201 headphones that sound a bit fizzy at higher volumes and want something a bit more neutral sounding.
I’ve also started to do a bit of recoding as the ME25 has a USB interface and comes with Sonar LE which is easy to use.
I want to buy some headphones for both practice and monitoring whilst recording, but don’t want to spend the price of Audio Technica M50X’s or even M40X’s or Senheisser HD280 Pros’s, I’ve seen the Samsons for £33 delivered, and they seem to get reasonable reviews.
I’m not bothered if they aren’t bulletproof, as they won’t get the abuse they would in a pro studio, but I want a decent, balances sound without too much colouration etc.
My other concern is that buying cheap may be a false economy, and I’ll eventually end up with one of the industry standards anyway.
Recording magazine gave them a pretty good review (plus some good ones on Amazon) http://www.samsontech.com/site_media/support/downloads/RECORDING_914_Samson_SR850_SR950_Review.pdf |
